High-fire stoneware clay body.

 
I sometimes add acetic acid (vinegar) to the water when mixing this clay body. I use about 1 cup to 1 gallon of water for an acidity of 5%. This helps to improve the clay's plasticity by neutralizing any sodium present in the water, as well as any that leaches from feldspars.

Shown here with a White Ash Glaze on the clay body.
